Introduction: Battery 1-5
Battery Status More bars on the battery indicate a greater charge. When the
battery is flashing, it is time to charge the radio.
New Message You have a new unopened text message.
Text Area
This area displays menus, messages, unit names or IDs, and other information.
Display Options
Two display options appear at the bottom of most screens. You select a display option by pressing
the below it.
Menu Key
Many features provide context-sensitive menus that let you access related features and actions. the
icon appears any time a context-sensitive menu is available. Press to access the menu.
Menus and Lists
Your radio’s features are arranged in menus, submenus, and lists. To access the items in a menu or
list, scroll using either the or keys.
Battery
WARNING: To avoid a possible explosion: DO NOT replace the battery in any area labeled
“hazardous atmosphere.” DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.
Battery Life
Your radio uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.
Based on 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby (standard duty cycle):
• NNTN4655 Li-Ion; Up to 19 Hours
• SNN5706 Li-Ion; Up to 14.5 Hours
Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of
batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge
and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last.
For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, lasts fewer
cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further,
a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer.
WARNING: Care should be taken to avoid external short circuiting of the battery. A
sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed accidentally
across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the
battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.
Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice versa.
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. The
battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold
battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the
battery.
February 2008 6875840M01-A
1-6 Introduction: Battery
Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit
to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.
WARNING: Do not attempt to change or charge the battery in a hazardous atmosphere.
To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.
6875840M01-A February 2008
Introduction: Charging the Radio 1-7
Charging the Radio
While the radio is charging, the display lights and the battery status icon flashes to show the status.
The battery will charge in approximately 1-3 hours, and battery gauge will show all segments and
stop flashing when fully charged.

NOTE: Use of the Drop-in Charging Tray is recommended for daily use.
1. Place the charging tray on a flat surface.
2. Connect the plug-in charger and drop-in charging tray by inserting the plug into the rear of the

again, a "u" displays.
2. Press the Green key twice to lock the keyboard in the green mode. All subsequent key
presses display the Green character or function associated with the key pressed. The keys
that do not have green functions still operate in the default (white) mode.

Chapter 2 General Radio Operations
Your radio is ready for use after a fully-charged battery has been installed. However, your radio
should be programmed in order to be fully compatible with any existing radios and to fully utilize all
radio features.
Refer to Chapter 3 - Advanced Radio Operations.
Turning Your Radio On or Off
Press to turn your radio on.
The radio chirps and the display briefly shows Motorola.
The display shows the radio Unit ID or Name, current Scroll list setting, time, date, and the available
Option key selections. If the radio has been assigned a unique Unit Name, the name will display
rather than the Unit ID for both the radio and any Contacts.
Press and hold to turn the radio off.
Adjusting the Speaker Volume
The Volume Control buttons are located on the upper left side of the radio. To adjust the speaker
volume, press the upper button to increase the volume level and press the lower button to decrease
